For everyone asking, we’re taking a mini hiatus so people can grit their teeth and suffer through an Olympic games marred by homophobia and mediocre levels of public interest. Back February 26th. … Follow up point — Good luck to all the athletes who have worked so hard for so many years and essentially geared their entire life around this opportunity. Hopefully, a lot of them will use their success and a public platform to remind everybody this isn’t the stone age.”

@Caine: Is it possible you’re confusing Cassandra Jean with Carrie Prejean? Just curious…

@Daniel VR:
That’s what i’m thinking. She was the girl who made a big deal about getting a haircut. Which in the end made sense, because the haircut they gave her was fugly. She was the uptight one, but i don’t remember her being the conservative christian one.

Carrie Prejean was the anti-gay bitch who Michael Phelps was banging. I don’t know the other girl. Bravo to Amell for showing support to USA and slamming Olympics at same time. I myself am not watching any of it.

It’s nice to see that Amell is not just a pretty face and a hot bod. He also has a functioning mind and a social conscience. So rare to find all of these in one package nowadays.

@stranded: Wikipedia mentions the haircut incident, but no mention of her political or religious ideas. People do change.

His wife is a a hardcore Christian…Perhaps that is why he is tweeting Gay Rights Awarenss to hide this…..

@balehead: Why can’t it be enough for you that someone is pro-equality? What his wife does (or doesn’t) isn’t relevant. What’s relevant is that he’s clearly an ally. Hit the weights. bro. Maybe you’ll look like that someday, but for now, you have failed this city.

He has always been supportive of gay people and is a very cool person when it comes to GLBT folks in general. We put him up on our site as more of a fan page than anything else. Totally admire this guy – for real.
